Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has lavished praise on the Real Madrid midfielder Isco recently.
The Spaniard has fallen down the pecking order at Santiago Bernabeu and he has been linked with a move away from Los Blancos.
The Italian manager was asked about links with the attacking midfielder after his side’s 2-1 defeat against Newcastle United on Sunday but he chose to remain coy on the matter.
He said: “Isco is a fantastic player and [I have] a fantastic memory of him but now I am not, honestly, focused there. I am focused on an important week we are going to have to recover players and to be well prepared for the game against United.
